So beautiful.. I'm working on a mini version of this lol. Love your outfit too! I'm wondering where you purchased your umbrellas from and are they white or ?
Hi Camille, , great video! I'd like to know how you water an area this large? Do you have an irrigation system? Would love to know the details! I have a postage-stamp sized backyard in Houston and we also lost a lot in the freeze. We replanted with all native plants suited for Zone 8 but watering them is sooooo expensive.
Yes, it is definitely an investment -- and very difficult in the Texas heat we're experiencing right now! We have drip irrigation that runs under the soil and into pots, and then when it's super hot, we also go out and give it extra water with a hose. I go into it a little bit in the second half of the video.
Did you end up buying a small tractor or anything to help you level and move the dirt. Thinking about doing that. I have a similar vision for our small 2.5 acre property on a slight slope.
We actually had to hire a crew to bring the dirt down in wheelbarrows... since this area is down many stairs and located behind our house, there's not a way to access it with a tractor. However, if you're able to get a small tractor to your land, that would definitely be the preferred and more efficient option!

What a fantastic Austin garden with a mediterranean flair! Looks like the south of france! Well done, love it!🤩🤩🤩
Thank you so much! Med vibes were definitely our inspiration :)
Hi there Camille!!! Those gardens is beautiful and located on a slope. Would like to see more of your videos on slope garden. Greetings from Borneo.

That was the goal! Makes me so happy you can feel the Mediterranean vibes 🌱
You’re backyard is a dream!

Hi, how do you handle cleaning the leaves on the gravel?

Beautiful Camille! Would love to know what kind of gravel you selected? Thank you for sharing this amazing space!
Thank you! It's just basic pea gravel -- we use it everywhere! You can get it at a hardware store or stone yard.

Did you work with an architect/designer to plan out all this space and figure out how to organize it properly with the retaining walls etc...
